Classical Warfare AEA

We actually have rome go from republic to empire, they are currently the only Empire

Kush is a tough one

[Thalatta]

The categorisation cannot be clean cut, because it mixes forms of government with sizes, which is related to how heterogeneous they were. Taking what they were for the most time (Macedonia was an Empire for a very few years):

Tribes: Britons, Gauls, Iberians, Germans.

City-states: Athenians, Spartans, Thebans.

Republics: Romans, Carthaginians.

Kingdoms: Macedonians, Ptolemies, Kushites.

Empires: Seleucids, Persians, Mauryans, Han.

Ok, I’ll start with either city states or tribes.

would it be safe to say in general all tribal buildings are mostly wood?

some other ideas on what they may all have in common? 

[Grautvornix]

Well, they may be initially nomads. Also hunting could have a little bonus (they might therefore have two or three scout cavalry at the beginning instead of one) and farming could be available only later after technologies have been researched?

Not sure this woudl be changing much in the long run but it could nudge players towards a little different initial strategy.
